There are three (3) types of plat amendments that apply to any recorded subdivision:
A. Replat: The following activities shall be considered a replat and require an application and processing with the Final Plat procedures and subsequent approval by the Council:
1. Any division of a lot or lots in a recorded subdivision resulting in an increase in the total number of lots in that subdivision.
2. Any revision to a final plat involving dedication or abandonment of land for a public street, public easement, or other public rights-of-way.
3. Any change in lot lines in a recorded subdivision affecting 5% or more of the total lot area within the subdivision; provided that no such adjustments shall be permitted to reduce lot sizes below the minimum for the applicable zoning category.
4. Any changes in the location of streets, easements or and other rights-of-way that are adjacent to 10% or more of the lots in a subdivision.
5. Any changes in the exterior boundary of a recorded subdivision.
B. Lot Line Adjustment: The following activities shall be considered a lot line adjustment and shall require an application in accordance and processing with the Final Plat procedures, but may be administratively approved by the Development Services Director. Notwithstanding the above, the Development Services Director may request and the Council may direct that any re-plat request be acted on by the Council.
1. Any joining or merger of lots in a recorded subdivision.
2. Any joining of lots and subsequent division of those same lots in a recorded subdivision, so long as such division results in no increase in the total number of lots in that subdivision.
3. Any changes in lot lines that result in only nominal increases or decreases of lot sizes (less than 5% of total lot area).
4. Any nominal changes (adjacent to 10% or fewer of the lots in a subdivision) in the location of streets, easements, and other rights-of-way.
C. Plat Correction: An amendment to a plat for the sole purpose of correcting a scrivener's error, such as for a distance or course, may be administratively approved by the Development Services Director with the correction noted and the plat labeled as "Amended Map of ______."
